Posted by checkmatechamp13 on Sat May 20 18:16:02 2017, in response to Re: I HAVE FOUND INFO ON THE SI BUS STUDY, posted by New Flyer #857 on Sat May 20 08:46:06 2017. Hmmm, interesting, it looks like even the archived pages have no reference to that diagram/pamphlet they put out about the SI Bus Study.Anyway, at a glance, it appeared that they planned on sending the "via NJ" routes to 57th & 6th, and the FDR routes to 57th & Madison (so they wouldn't run via 3rd. Possibly they would run via Lexington instead of 5th southbound and leave West Midtown to the "via NJ" routes, because it looks like they were just focusing on AM service in that graphic). In any case, I made a quick summary of what it looks like they're planning on doing in one of my earlier posts (this one to be exact: http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=323805 ). Basically, it looks like unless you live within walking distance of the ETC (or Forest & Richmond, Hylan & Richmond, or in Meiers Corners where you have the X12/42 or X11/31 depending on which direction you walk), you will be restricted as to what part of Midtown you have a one-seat ride to. I will say that Hylan Blvd is really the only corridor where you have all those branches to different parts of Manhattan (East Midtown, West Midtown, WFC, Water Street, Chelsea, etc). The X17 is the second-busiest express route, and during rush hour, you just have the X17A & X17J running to Downtown & Midtown, respectively. |
